Week in Review

At Resides and Resides we pride ourselves on the results of our hard work. Come back each week to read about all the people we serve and how we can serve you.

The Last Few Months

Dad’s and fathers statewide are getting results with the Father and Children’s Law Center (www.oklahomafathersrights.com):

A Comanche County dad was awarded sole custody of his son this July.  The dad had been trying for years with different attorneys but once he hired the attorneys at the Father and Children’s Law Center sole custody was awarded to him.

In Osage County a dad was was awarded joint custody of his daughters with him as primary physical and legal custodian.  Best of all his ex-wife who had lied about his child support payment history will pay the money back plus pay child support.

Our hard work has also resulted in the following accomplishments:

- When her son was arrested for the murder of his stepson a grandmother in a foreign jurisdiction had no idea what to do when her biological grandchildren we placed in foster care.  The biological mother was a suspect but not in custody under a no contact order with her children.  What the grandmother did not know is that there was a no contact order in place against her also.  It could not be any worse.  Grand-parental rights experts at Resides & Resides, PLLC got the job done.  The grandchildren flew home with grandmother and are now thriving in their new home.

-  As a father was serving his country he did not know that the biological mother to his son was either abusing his son or allowing his son to be abused.  So badly in fact that the infant child ended up hospitalized with fractured bones.  In spite of having a grandfather available to take the child into safety, the child was placed with strangers in foster care and the suspect mother was allowed to still see the infant.  Fathers rights attorneys at Resides & Resides, PLLC were retained to rectify this tragedy of events.  The grandfather now has the infant child and the child is thriving anxiously awaiting his father to return from serving his country.  The biological mother?  A no contact order is in place against her while the sheriffs office and district attorneys office investigate the crime!

-  When investor shareholders of a local company saw their life savings being squandered they turned to the attorneys of Resides & Resides, PLLC to file a shareholder derrivative suit.  ”It was their sheer intellectual aptitude and tactical expertise that convinced me that we needed them over any other firm we had consulted with,”  said a shareholder.  They made the right choice.  The company operates under a temporary restraining order and a receiver is being sought.

- When a multi million dollar divorce involved complex property and custody issues, the attorneys of Resides & Resides, PLLC were necessary.  Though high conflict the litigation talents of the attorneys at Resides & Resides, PLLC brought the case to a quick resolution and saved the parties a deal of time and expense.

  • Oklahoma City Divorce Attorneys at Resides & Resides stepped in when a military father about to be deployed overseas and wanted to see his child, possibly for the last time.  This father had been denied visitation since May 2010.  Resides & Resides was able to secure a Joint Custody Plan allowing father to exercise visitation prior to deployment.  Best of all, while this soldier is deployed defending our country his custody will be exercised by his family members while he is overseas so this child knows who his father is.
  • Previously on www.oklahomafahtersrights.com: When an Oklahoma City mother was trying to adopt  her newborn son without giving notice to the Oklahoma City father Resides & Resides was able to stop the prospective adoptive parents from leaving the state with the newborn and the biological father now has custody of the newborn.

  • Resides & Resides secured an Emergency Temporary Order Denying Visitation dismissed resulting in resuming visitation for a loving father.
  • Received a favorable ruling limiting visitation on a child, a favorable child support Order, and a favorable division of debts between the parties.
